OK, I'm probably not, but the way mothers did things back then? Their attitude is really getting on my nerves...

So you didn't breastfeed. So you weaned early. So you made up bottles at room temperature. So you put your baby on its front to sleep. So you slung a carrycot across the back seat of the car and didn't strap it in. So you let your kids play outside till all hours and ignored their protestations of Old Mr Todger scaring them with his white-eared elephant impersonation.

Just because not everybody wants to follow in your footsteps, do try not to get thickly indignant about it all, there's loves.

Some people prefer to think about how they do things, research, help other women to achieve their own goals, and, do you know what, they don't need scorn and derision heaped upon them by morons.

bufobufo, no such thing as a humble opinion. IMHO.

Heaven forbid anybody ever gets pissed off about anything.

Jeez!

So pleased you wrote 'their' instead of 'there'

Leading on from Zoe Williams article in the Guardian, does anyone know what the DoH guidelines on how long you can breast feed after taking an E are?

ElfPolarBear · 19/12/2007 19:37

OP - you forgot dipping the dummy in whiskey or honey

MerryXMoss · 19/12/2007 19:50

Hunker I saw this and my first thought was "but you're normally so reasonable what's gone on here then?" and then I saw the other thread, of which this is clearly a parody, and I pmsl!

MerryXMoss · 19/12/2007 19:51

Actually Missorinoco I was wondering that too!

I wonder if the guidelines on that one involve pumping and dumping?

"Ultimately we should all be supporting each other and try and wade our way through the morass of information to find the best method for our children - never forgetting that we are NOT perfect and we WILL get things wrong!!"
i thought that about summed it up, didn't need much more. the 'great posts' thing was a joke from a couple of late nights back.
